The author and head pastor of Saddleback church in CA lost his son this weekend to suicide. Being one of the most recognizable Christians in our country, his family has already been ripped into by critics of his ministry before they even burried thier son.

Mark Driscoll says it better than can. Believer or not, they could use some prayers. Mm

Thanks everybody for the contiued prayers. Rev. Warren has helped so many people find purpose in their lives through his ministry.

Sorry for their loss.

Faith gives us the strength to weather hard times like the Warren family is going through right now. Thier son didn't die because he, or they, had a lack of faith. He died because he's a victim of our sinful world and what it can do to bodies that are designed to be perfect.

There is something wrong with our world. We all can feel it and think "it shouldn't be like this". I personally believe that's because our inner most being knows this isn't how it should be and we strive to find ways to make it how it 'should be'. This, IMO, is proof that we need Jesus to fix the world and our lives. If there wasn't something better, a once perfect condition, why would our bodies and minds, believer or not, yearn for it?
